SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - When it comes to helping men look and feel their best in this recession, Lisa Ann Martin, owner of Stealth Styling for men, has great tips for what she calls a “wardrobe audit”.
According to Martin, a wardrobe audit consists of:
* - Sorting through your wardrobe to determine what's needed and what’s not
* - Identifying which styles best suit your body shape
* - Eliminating unworn or ill-fitting clothing
* - Identifying missing items to fill in any gaps
* - Donating excess items or selling them on consignment
Says Martin, “Many of my clients are surprised at how much of their existing wardrobe is not even being used; and how much cash is just sitting in their closet. It's also great when they are able to donate unused items to those who are less fortunate - it's a win/win situation".
After purging a wardrobe, Martins suggests mixing and matching remaining items and stocking up on wardrobe essentials; as classic fabrics and styles are back for Fall 2009 in new shapes and modern fits. Martin also suggests focusing on quality and not quantity when it comes to deciding which items to keep and which to toss.
“In today's economy, the key to creating a stylish wardrobe is simple: go back to the basics. With just a few quality items, a man can create a wardrobe that allows him to easily switch between casual and professional - and it doesn't have to cost a fortune. “
